testing the waters

[Bradley Borch]

Brrr from Maine...

I'm new to rev but not to multimedia, been doing it since it was videodiscs, using Tencore, Quest, etc. Been using Director for about six years (too long) now, got burned by investing time & energy in Oracle Media Objects. I'd appreciate any thoughts or help in getting going (I took a HyperCard class in '88 -- eons ago in digital media time).

1) Can rev serve as a replacement for Director?

2) (related to 1) My most recent Dir CD had a lot of Flash animation, and I never used the Dir timeline for animation at all, just "go the frame" stuff. Can I take the same approach in rev using Flash export to swf 5 (the latest that QT 6 supports) and still have some control within the flash animation? I did a test and got mixed results. Any user experiences using rev as a multimedia player with Flash embedded as QT would be most helpful.

3) How does Rev compare to iShell? I tried iShell but it felt really constraining. I know they're different animals, any specific observations would be great.

TIA for your input.
